I learned a lot

I am just finishing massage school and used this textbook. The way the information was explained and the learning activites helped so much. All the information about the sciences related to massage making the reading interesting. The chapters on muscles and biomechanices were especially interesting. Even if you have used a different anatomy and physiology text book I really suggest you get this one to understand how the information relates to massage
